bradkanus:The only problem with your guy getting elected to another four year term - That's 1,460 more days of blindly defending him on Fark.

You actually counted the days!?You do realize, we don't have to defend him at all anymore. He can't be re-elected again. The next four years will be a constant barrage of initiatives from this generations greatest statesman - who has nothing to left to prove.

That's right... 1,460 days... hour after hour, day after day, week after week, year after year... no respite, no surcease, just endless "a Democrat's in the White House"... "a Democrat's in the White House"... 1,460 days of having to call a black guy "Mr. President"... the presidency lost for four years, the Senate for at least six, the House teetering on the edge... 1,460 days of irrelevance... 1,460 days of laughter at your expense... 1,460 days of defeat...

When Regan went to Brazil, he started a speech about Venezuela and was eventually interrupted by someone in his entourage who gave him the correct speech. Next day, one of Brazil's largest newspaper, Jornal do Brasil, was published with the name Diario de Venezuela, and the front page all in Spanish instead of Portuguese.

It's like they find the most insignificant thing we've ever criticized a president for, then spend their first two "Wolf!" cries on arugulamustardmomjeans.

Then, when they waste their third on "Benghazi! Benghazi? Ben...ghazi, right? B-E-N-G-H-A-Z-I. Bee-Eee-En..." (SHUT THE FARK UP! WE KNOW WHAT YOU SAID. IT'S NOT A SCANDAL. SIT DOWN, SHUT UP, AND WE'LL TAP YOU ON THE HEAD WHEN IT'S TIME FOR RECESS. God DAMN.)

If they ever did have a legitimate beef, I'd expect the Dems to be able to hide it in broad daylight at this point - everyone has now seen the GOP lose its shiat over the tiniest things for the last 5 years. They have no sense of scale.

Mispronounced a pretty difficult Asian name. You know, like Bush did with English words.

Unless he mispronounced it in that exaggerated "you really expect me to say funny furrin' words?" manner that some people use, and followed it up with "...or whatever his name is", I think I'll give him a pass.

In addition, as The Weekly Standard notes, Obama was quick to use the Burmese regime's preferred word "Myanmar", to describe Burma, which is not the term officially used by the US government, or by Burma's opposition activists.

So Obama called the Republic of the Union of Myanmar as Myanmar instead of it's old colonial name of Burma

you know, I think all this scandal-lust on the right is just going to make them the party that cried wolf.

honestly, if there was an actual scandal and the regular line up of RW "news" sites started screaming about it from the rooftop....there'd be a whole lot of people who would figure it's just BS noise again and ignore them.

I really wonder if they can go a full 8 years at this level of perpetual outrage.

That's sort of awesome.

Sort of? That's wonderfoul on the level of playing the Imperial March when Cheney got off the plane.

At this point, I'm pretty sure that Obama could go on national television, pour gasoline on a bag of kittens, light a match, and walk away in slow motion, and the Republicans would have a hissy fit about the size of his flag pin.

And Mitt Romney would smirk about how the kittens showed weakness with all their mewling, and how we need to cut taxes. And then he'd smirk some more.
